HENRICVS REX (Henry II, Richard I, John & Henry III all had the same)
That is a rare Richard I (the Lionheart) - Tough one to get.
Moneyer: STIVENE (probably a spelling of Stephen)
Mint: London

1189-1199 Richard I Penny : Steven on London

A hammered silver Penny of king Richard the First (The Lionheart) struck by the moneyer Stivene at the mint of London between the years 1189 to 1199. Graded VG.

I think Cru'dad said we are at nearly 1100 hammered & only about 2 or 3 of them are Richard I.
